Adult Tennis 255 g Racket Evo Drive Lite - Green
This Babolat Evo Drive Lite racket has been designed for INTERMEDIATE tennis players looking for a powerful, lightweight racket.Weight (unstrung racket)255 g. Weight: The racket's weight is measured in grams. Just like balance point and length, the weight impacts a racket's swing weight and therefore its manoeuvrability, stability and ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The heavier the racket, the more power it transfers to the ball, but the harder it is to handle. The lighter the racket, the easier it is to handle, but the trade-off is less power.Balance (unstrung racket)32 cm Balance: This is the racket balance point, measured in centimetres from the bottom of the shaft. The higher the number (head heavy), the more powerful and stable upon impact the racket will be. However, it will also be harder to manoeuvre. The smaller the number (head light or handle heavy), the easier the racket will be to handle but you'll have less power and stability.Head size670 cm² Head size: This is the surface area of the racket head size measured in squared centimetres. It has an impact on the racket's forgiveness and power. The larger the head size, the more powerful and forgiving it is, but the downside is less control. The smaller the head size, the greater the feeling of control, but you sacrifice some power and forgiveness.Stiffness (RA)70 Ra Ra: This refers to the racket's stiffness, i.e. how much it bends under the impact of the ball. The stiffer the racket (the higher the Ra), the less it bends. The energy lost on impact is minimised and returned to the ball via the strings. Generally, a stiffer racket offers greater power.Swingweight (unstrung racket)SW = 270 Swingweight: This indicates how easy a racket is to handle and its ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The higher the swingweight, the more powerful the racket, but also the harder it will be to handle. Conversely, the lower the swingweight, the easier the racket will be to handle, but the trade-off is less power. The swingweight is derived from a combination of the racket weight, balance and length.Stringing: 16 x 17 String pattern: This is the number of mains (vertical strings) x the number of crosses (horizontal strings). The more strings the pattern has, the more "closed" it is; the fewer it has, the more "open" it is. A more closed string pattern offers a greater feeling of control, but less power and spin. A more open string pattern provides more power and spin, but less control.Length68.5 cm Length: This is the length of the racket from the bottom of the grip to the top of the head. It is measured in centimetres. The longer the racket, the more power you'll get, but the flip side is that it will be harder to handle. The shorter the racket, the easier it will be to manoeuvre, but you'll have to give up power.Cross sectionCross section (in mm): 23/26/23.Air handle touchTwo E-TPU patches positioned under the grip to improve vibration absorption and give a softer feeling when grasping the handle. The Syntec Evo grip enhances comfort.SWX Evo FeelThe new SMAC technology is integrated at three key points in the racket for improved shock absorption.Woofer SystemThis system connects the frame and strings: it offers longer ball-to-string contact for improved control and comfort.ELLIPTIC FRAMEElliptical cross section for optimal durability and overall rigidity for more power.The new Babolat Evo Drive Lite gives you easy power and is available in a lightweight version weighing just 255 g.The new "Air handle touch" technology improves perspiration absorption. Power Elliptic Frame and 16 x 17 string pattern. Ease of use The larger 670 cm² head size increases forgiveness. Lightweight This lightweight version weighs just 255 g.
